A local shop told me they'd do the 3sgte 2nd gen swap to my car with the auto to manual swap and everything installed for $4500. How does that sound?

$4500 in labour alone just for that swap can be reasonable. It's about 8hrs book time i believe to re and re that engine. so go from there $96cdn/hr = $768. Never mind changing it from automatic to standard. You have to take out the old shifter make new mounts for it and then cut the inner console so that the shifter will fit up. cutting a hole to put the clutch pedal and then doing all the rewiring for that. It's more then what you think it is. It's not just quick slap bam i'm done. I can gurantee that this swap will confuse many tech's. the mechanical work will be no problem. it's the wiring harness itself that will stump.
